4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Windsor

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Windsor on a budget is a brilliant idea, particularly during January to March when hotel prices may drop to more affordable levels. For those seeking great value for money, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is ideal for exploring the town's rich history, including its castle, historical sites, and monuments, as well as enjoying river views, shopping, dining, and the friendly local ambience. This budget-friendly period offers an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in Windsor's cultural heritage and romantic tours without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers DealsOpens in a new window that may help you save on Windsor hotels, and you could find last-minute bargains by exploring the Last-Minute Deals section. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you're more likely to see flash sales and special promotions as your travel date approaches. Additionally, the app's Smart Shopping tool allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you stay informed about price changes and availability for your preferred hotels. This way, you may discover opportunities to book a last-minute getaway to Windsor.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may differ depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your dates might help you save on your stay at a Windsor hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can offer a more personalised touch and, occasionally, better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels in the city centre usually command higher prices, yet thanks to Windsor's superb public transport links, you might find a more affordable independent hotel a little further afield that is still well connected. For those eager to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative spots could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
